How it works

By doing so, this medicine stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.

Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Only give Erom 125mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Discontinue giving Erom 125mg Dry Syrup and consult the doctor immediately in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. This medicine is not to be taken in such cases.
